Master The Classics: White Lady

  • Happy Halloween everyone! Although we didn't get to do an actual Halloween episode this year, I thought this would be a fitting cocktail to make. It's a great classic and also refers to some spooky folklore.
    As with so many historic cocktails the origin of this cocktail is up for some debate. It is thought that the original was made by Harry McElhone who created it while he was working at Ciro Club in 1919. At that time the recipe consisted of White Creme De Menthe, Triple Sec and Lemon Juice. It was't until he owned his own Bar, Harry's New York Bar in Paris that he changed the recipe by swapping the Creme De Menthe with Gin.
    As time went on Harry Craddock began making the drink at the Savoy in London. He then published the recipe in his Savoy Cocktail book in 1930 and when he did so, he was the one who added the egg white (on the suggestion of a co-worker) to the recipe. It is Craddock's recipe we make in this video and the recipe most bars make nowadays, so he deserves a fair amount of credit.
    It bears mentioning that the term White Lady is a popular legend in many culture's folklore. It refers to the apparition of a woman dressed all in white which haunts rural areas. Usually the story revolves around some local tragedy, such as a jealous lover or a girl who never makes it home after a dance. While these legends are found in many countries around the world, they're most common to The United States, Ireland and Great Britain. Also common to these legends is a sense of purity before death.
    So let's raise a glass to these woeful ghosts on the spookiest night of the year! Happy Halloween you guys!

    Great recipe and tutorial. However I'd recommend as a rule of thumb a dash of bitters over any cocktail containing egg white to cover up that 'eggy' smell they usually get.. Smell is an underrated and super important component of any cocktail. For this particular cocktail, fee bros Orange bitters might go nicely..

    This cocktail is so similar to the White Spider from the Blue Bar at the Algonquin Hotel, as published in Saveur magazine, albeit it would be not as sweet and have more egg white. That recipe calls for a fresh sour mix made by whisking one small egg white, 1 tbsp fine sugar, and 1 cup of fresh lemon juice: 1-1/2 oz sour mix, 1-1/2 oz gin, 3/4 oz Cointreau, and yet more sugar (1/3 tsp). Shake and then served up. Interestingly, many published recipes for the “White Spider” also call for white creme de menthe.

      Theres really two solutions, that you can try out:
      Since the big bubbles is an indicator of alot of water being added to your cocktail, you can either use a "finer" finestrainer or try shaking your cocktail for a shorter period, but harder, to avoid your icecubes to melt and dilute the drink.

    Harry MacElhorne published a recipe for this drink in 1920 in his Harry’s ABC of Mixing Drinks before he moved to Paris and bartender at Harry’s New York Bar there. His recipe called for 1/6th parts Brandy and Crème de Menthe and 2/3 part Cointreau. That would be a very poorly balanced drink I think. Jump ahead to. 1930 and Harry Craddock, an American ex-pat heading up the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, published an improved recipe for a White Lady in his The Savoy Cocktail Book. He corrected the balance and swapped out the Brandy for Gin and used lemon juice instead of Crème de Menthe. A definite improvement. The drink has evolved. Leandro’s version with an egg white perfects this drink.

    Nice pick for Halloween! Have you experimented at all with a reverse dry shake? Meaning, shake with ice first, strain, and then dry shake. I have found (with small sample size) that it seems to produce a thicker foam. Not 100% sure why, but probably because when you dry shake first you are diluting the nice foam you just created when you chill the drink. (Got this tip from Cocktail Chemistry channel I believe, so kudos to him.)

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Andrew Krahn no, the smaller cubes will dilute more than a large cube on its own due to a whole host of factors. If your using high quality dense ice it’d be a little better than cube ice but not by much

    • @Adamscommabrett
      @Adamscommabrett 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're correct. When it comes to ice, chilling and dilution are entirely connected to each other. If you have less dilution, you have less chilling. The idea that shaking with a bigger cube will keep you from over-diluting the drink is the "searing seals in the juices" of the cocktail world. It sounds good but it's just not how it works. Shaking is about reaching an equilibrium between the ice and the liquid, and you get there in about 10 seconds regardless of ice size (though the intensity with which you shake can mildly interfere). I've shaken side by side with a big cube and shit ice and got the same dilution. Big ice does help with texture though, so it will definitely make the egg white stiffer and increase aeration of the drink itself.

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brett Adams I’ll Let you take that up with Dave Arnold. From Liquid Intelligence: “Ice that is smaller or larger than the range given above will dilute differently...shaking with a single ice cube 2 inches (5cm) square does not dilute nearly as much as shaking with the same weight in multiple smaller cubes, but does produce a better-textured drink than smaller cubes would.” Bottom of Page 93. Where you would be correct is when comparing crap hotel ice at 3/4 of an inch to Kold Draft ice at 1 1/4 inches.

    • @Adamscommabrett
      @Adamscommabrett 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheEducatedBarfly I've actually shaken side by side and measured the dilution of crap ice vs. big ice and was shocked to find no difference. At the time I was working at a place with a terrible ice machine and was worried I was watering down drinks. So I pulled some large cubes from the freezer, measured equal amounts of water and ice in two tins, shook side by side for the same amount of time, stained them, then weighed the resultant water. It was the exact same. I'm sure Dave did a more intensive study and was able to see a difference, but with mine what I learned was that I didn't have to stress. The drinks weren't being ruined by the smaller ice. It made sense because the point of shaking a drink is to exhaust all of the energy from the ice. You want to dilute the cocktail. A sour is essentially a boozy lemonade and lemonade is kinda gross if it's too warm or if it doesn't have enough water. By shaking extra long with one big cube you essentially exhausted all the energy from that cube, i.e. you diluted and chilled the drink correctly. It was a good drink BECAUSE it was diluted as much as it could have been. You did it right. The thing is, you could have also diluted and chilled the drink correctly with a 10 second shake and smaller ice, even crap hotel ice. Give it a try!

    On the topic of egg whites use on cocktails, maybe it is a stupid question but: could we think in a way to chill the shaker from the outside for drinks with egg whites? The wet shaking always removes some of the previously developed texture, which is maybe the main point of using egg whites in a drink...

    The part about the dilution is wrong? Size of the ice does not affect dilution. ”Theres no chilling without dilution, and there is no dilution without chilling. The the two are inextricably linked”

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Love Bengtsson I did not say you don’t dilute with big ice. But you do dilute less, that part is true. And there is absolutely chilling without dilution. What do you think happens if you stick a glass of gin in the freezer? Shaking with a single 2 inch rock of ice will dilute less than the same weight of ice in multiple smaller cubes. And you get superior texture

    • @lovebengtsson707
      @lovebengtsson707 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Educated Barfly Dave Arnold talks about this in his book ‘Liquid intelligence’. “The Fundemantal Law of Cocktails states that chilling and diluting are inextricably linked”...”The upshot of that law: as long as two drinks with the same recipe reach the same temperature, they will be diluted the same amount. Any combination of ice size, stirring rate and time that ends with the same temperature will make exactly identical drinks!”. The only difference with a shaken drink would be the texture? The dilution still applies to that same rule, right? Not trying to be rude, I just don’t get it?

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Adamscommabrett
      @Adamscommabrett 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheEducatedBarfly Page 94: "But remember, one big cube does not dilute as much as the smaller cubes do, which isn't good. The solution is to add a couple smaller ice cubes to your tin along with the big cube before shaking. The extra cubes don't seem to mess with the awesome texturizing effects of the big cube, and give all the extra dilution you need." In the video you shake the drink for 24 seconds, which is about 12-14 seconds longer than you need to reach equilibrium with the drink and the ice. So even if the drink chilled/diluted more slowly with the big cube, the extra shaking would bring the temp down to the same as 10 seconds with smaller ice. The upside of the big cube is all texture, and the extra shaking you do could very well lead to a better textured foam on the drink. The drink looks (and probably was) super delicious, but I do think you may have unnecessarily complicated some of the advice.

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brett Adams right but the debate here wasn’t whether it was “good” or “bad” to have less dilution. It was whether or not a big cube diluted less than small small cubes while shaking. For me I shake daiquiris with one big cube and they come out spectacular. I tend not to agonize over minutiae and I stand by every drink I make. I also want the info I impart to be accurate and when I’m wrong I’m the first to admit it. I do not consider myself an “expert” but I have been bartending for a decade and i am sharing what I know on TH-cam, that doesn’t mean that I know everything. I am learning just as much as anyone else on this channel although what I’m learning is probably different than most viewers. In the words of Dave Arnold himself “the more you know the more questions you have”

    Hey, I thought I was gonna see a real life version of "Weird Science!" (ba-dump-bump!)
    Seriously, I'm assuming one would use Cointreau vs. Curacao due to its HIGHER sugar content?
    However, wouldn't MOST "classic" cocktails default to using "Curacao," as it was the ORIGINAL orange liqueur?
    P.S. - Did McElhone swap out an EQUAL amount of gin for the creme de menthe?
    If so, that ORIGINAL version must've made for a NASTY drink! :(

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
      @TheEducatedBarfly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike Kisonu yes most do default to
      Curaçao but not all, the fact is that different oranges are used to make these liqueurs and they’re made in quite different places which make them very different in flavor.

      @mikekisonu6825 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the reply, "barfly!"
      To keep it truly "authentic," I was deferring to Pierre Ferrand's dry curaçao, which I believe was created to emulate the flavor profile of curacaos of old.
      That said, it is certainly "DRY," in comparison to a Cointreau or a Grand Marnier, and would definitely give you a different flavor.

    • @TheEducatedBarfly
